Pre-ordering Dying Light allows you to be the zombie

A new gameplay trailer for Dying Light has been released by Techland, which reveals a new way to play the game with an asymmetric multiplayer mode.

According to a press release from the developer, “Online players can face the threat of a possible invasion of their game by the Night Hunter, an extremely powerful, human-controlled zombie mutation. These invasions are an inherent part of Dying Light, available on all platforms for all online players from day one. However for our hardcore fans who pre-order, we’re offering them a bonus – Be the Zombie – which lets you actually take control of the Night Hunter and invade online games of other players.”

It is yet to be announced whether or not this content will be available post-release, but there are speculations that it will be. After all, cutting out a portion of the game that could be, to quite an extent, a major reason why potential buyers buy the game, would not be a smart move.

Techland has stated the release of Daylight on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on January 27th, 2015. You can watch the trailer below:
